Just curious Adam, was there a reason you decided to manually correct the column defects, as opposed to the using the scripts LinearDefectDetection and LinearPatternSubtraction?

At the time I created this image, LDD/LPS was not optimized.

Hi Adam, I really appreciate your effort to walk us through the challenges an image can present and how you approach solving them, including alternative approaches. A tremendous learning experience. Thank you.
